NumExpr: The “Faster than Numpy” Library Most Data Scientists Have Never Used

Browsing GitHub the other day, I came across a library I’d never heard of before. It was called NumExpr. I was immediately interested because of some claims made about the library. In particular, it stated that for some complex numerical calculations, it was up to 15 times faster than NumPy.  I was intrigued because, up

Behind the Magic: How Tensors Drive Transformers

Introduction Transformers have changed the way artificial intelligence works, especially in understanding language and learning from data. At the core of these models are tensors (a generalized type of mathematical matrices that help process information) . As data moves through the different parts of a Transformer, these tensors are subject to different transformations that help

LLM Evaluations: from Prototype to Production

Evaluation is the cornerstone of any machine learning product. Investing in quality measurement delivers significant returns. Let’s explore the potential business benefits. As management consultant and writer Peter Drucker once said, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” Building a robust evaluation system helps you identify areas for improvement and take meaningful actions
